RET MD Intelligent Room Thermostat
Features
RET-M series of room thermostats combine the
ease of use of a setting dial with accuracy and
advanced features, including LCD display, that
are only available from micro-processor based
controller. The LCD display, that normally shows
actual room temperature, changes momentarily
to show set temperature whenever the setting dial
is moved. Styled upon the RET room thermostat,
the RET-M series can be set up by the installer to
provide either traditional on/o control or more
sophisticated chrono-proportional control for
increased comfort and economy.
If set in chrono-proportional mode, the thermostat
imposes a xed cycle rate on the system and then
determines the duration of the On and O periods
within each cycle in proportion to load. The
control algorithm used to determine the on/o
periods uses a proportional + integral (PI) routine
to eliminate oset normally associated with on/o
or simple proportional control.
Chrono-proportional control also signicantly
improves comfort and generally improves boiler
eciency by reducing mean water temperature.
The RET-MD is an intelligent room thermostat
that incorporates an energy saving delay start
feature, which delays the start-up of the heating
dependent upon how close to set-point the room
temperature is at the time heating time switch is
scheduled to turn on the heating system.
Under most load conditions, this feature reduces
the number of hours per day that the system runs,
without creating any discomfort. This feature can,
if necessary, be cancelled if the user wishes to
override the delay period.
A version without delayed start, type RET-M, is also
available. This model oers all the features of the
battery powered RET-B but is mains powered.
Both models are ideal for use with combination
boilers and can be installed without the need for
complicated wiring or commissioning.
Intelligent heating control for increased fuel
economy.
Micro-processor accuracy.
Setting dial with LCD temperature display.
Wallplate construction for ease of installation.

ErP Class Product Function and ErP Description
TPI Room Thermostat, for use with on/off output heaters
An electronic room thermostat that controls both thermostat
cycle rate and in-cycle on/o ratio of the heater proportional
IV
to room temperature. TPI control strategy reduces mean water
temperature, improves room temperature control accuracy and
enhances system eciency.

Delay Curve
Wiring
The RET-MD intelligent room thermostat delays the
start-up of the heating system by a variable time
period that is determined by the dierence in the
room temperature compared to the temperature
set on the thermostat. The smaller the dierence,
the longer the delay before the heating is allowed
to turn on. A built-in limit ensures that the delay
period cannot exceed 45 minutes.
